And what are the estimated losses due to C-19? And how many athletic programs are being shuttered?
Going on a limb here ISU

Not sure when those numbers will come out. Iowa is borrowing $50M from the University general fund. How is ISU making up the budget shortfall?
Laughing at a delusional clown fan isn’t a coping mechanism it’s pure entertainment. Please, pretty please keep posting isu delusions.
We want more. We want more. We want more.
It is $17.5M shortfall and will be funded by unrestricted athletics & University $$$. University $$$ will be repaid by athletics
So same setup as Iowa just a smaller amount. Makes sense to borrow from the University, IMO. Why pay a financial institution interest when you can pay the interest to the University?
I am calling BS on the $17.5M shortfall. Pollard paid $10m just to get rid of Prohm and pay UNLV to take their coach off their hands. Find it difficult to believe all other revenue and expenses were covered without a larger deficit than $17.5m.
Pollard didn’t pay $10M to Prohm(technically he did). A booster paid the buyouts for both Prohm & TJO
I bet someone could sell 80,000 tickets for a buck each.
$$$ came from project $$ at ISU and booster donated to said project. It was all neat and clean.
Keep Pollard forever no one can hire the wrong coach only to pay millions for him to go away later than he can.
So give us a link. While you are at it can you find a link that says the isu has won an outright football conference title?
You see clown fans have a long reputation here for being able to spout their delusions only to be unable to back them up with reality.
I know who the booster is but I am going to keep that confidential. You can Google ISU shortfall and get the numbers and specifics but the booster info won’t be released.
So just like with the so called “isu outright football conference title” it only lives in your head and that of other delusional clown fans.
I would love to hear the sales pitch. Pollard “ Hey Denny say I know you are a busy man but I screwed the pooch on another of my hires and I need you to pony up $4.5M to fix it. I want to hire a coach that has never won a NCAA Tournament game but we need to pay UNLV in order to do it. We will call it a special fundraising “project”.
At least Pollard has a vision and sales pitch. The pitch was a very easy one for certain reasons. There were other options as well. Where is Barta’s vision and sales pitch?
Awesome vision, let’s pay $10m to hire a coach who has never won a NCAA Tournament game. Only dopey clown fans would fall for such an amazing “vision”.
Barta doesn’t have to call boosters begging for money to clean up his crappy hires.
What newspaper is crybaby Pollard pissed at today? I mean wasn’t it a year ago that Pollard declared isu to the “Bear”? Maybe not everyone got the memo. Here is and idea you can make it your lifes mission to help him out on this by ensuring sure all newspapers and media outlets across this great nation know exactly who the “Bear” is in Iowa. You and you alone can keep Pollard from looking like the whiny crybaby he is.

I'm surprised the ticket gap is that large. I don't think Iowa charges for non-revenue sports attendance, and ISU has been outdrawing Iowa for MBB and WBB in recent years. Just for the hell of it, what did Iowa list for football ticket sales in 2019? ISU was a bit over $11.6 million.
$22.3M
Hawkeye, Cyclone athletics revenue up
IOWA CITY – The 2019 budget year was more lucrative for Hawkeye athletics than any in recent history, thanks to …

Contrary to popular belief, Prohm wasn’t Pollard’s choice. Leath made that call. Pollard now has the guy he wanted when Prohm was hired.
Too funny, Pollard isn’t the “Bear” in the state nor can he hire the coaches he wants. Does he also have to sit at the kids table for Thanksgiving dinner?
You think Barta has carts Blanche in revenue generating program hires? I can assure you he does not. Iowa has had way too many lawsuits for him to get free reign.
Do you really want to talk about lawsuits? Or must we pick and choose what does and doesn’t count because clown fan says so?
I see isu just gave a revenue generating program’s coach who settled a racial discrimination suit another extension. Going to tell us how that doesn’t count?
Has your football program settled with the multiple former players that filed suit, or has it become class action. Why would you take that path knowing the history?
Hasn’t settled and won’t become a class action. Why settle when major portions of the suit were already dismissed?
The W's and the $. You gotta an Ex Iowa guy as the head of your damn conference!
So he undermined Prohm. Ouch. If he was not "Jamie's guy" then why the hell did he give him an extension not long ago?????????????????? Jamie has made a lot of bad coaching hires. I mean Chizik?!??!??!?!??! WTF?!?!?
When your boss says “we are not hiring an assistant coach with no head coaching experience, and I want you vette Prohm”....you are going to do what you are told.
I don't think you understand what 5 Star Culture actually means. It has nothing to do with the AD or fans.
Correct....it is player leadership and buy in through the whole roster and coaches.
and if you really believe the culture at isu can be kept away from any of isu’s sports programs you really are naive.
That wonderful isu culture on display daily on isu websites and in the words and actions of the isu crybaby AD.
